Join us for a power-hour to learn how to authentically build trust as a leader who makes an impact and to advance further in your career!

In the world of leadership development, there’s no shortage of advice on what to do to drive career success—but very little is said about who to be and listening to your intuition. While leadership skills are important, self-trust is the foundation that great leadership is built upon—and developing it is a deeply personal process.

Together with FENG, she’ll walkthrough the book and guide on how to reclaim your confidence, tap into your instincts and embrace your inner dialogue using proven tactical tools, and strategies based on the Gutsy Leadership^® System used by professionals seeking to increase their income and impact. In Own Your Authority, Marisa Santoro explains that leaders who tap into their intuition will find mindful, responsive energy; develop self-trust; and grace under pressure. This type of Gutsy Leadership^® can give you a confident conviction that you’ll find the right paths forward for yourself, others, and your organization.
